It’s such a beautiful place, but I went on summer and it was slightly dry. Probably is better to come on a wet season.

A lovely park to spend a bit of time walking and relaxing. The paths are very good with wooden walkways over the water. If you like bird spotting, this is a perfect place to do it. You don't need a guide but you can ask at the information centre to see if there are any guided walks when you are there - you might have more chance of spotting animals that way.
Bird watching in an easy way. Almost flat and well prepared with walkways over the water takes you to the observation posts. From these wooden cabins it is worth to use long shot photography and telescopes to watch wild life upclose. Big cranes arrived early november this year in numbers. Ducks, storks, herons, cormorans...
We visited on a sunny and warm Sunday afternoon at 6pm. There were still 100's of families, couples and guided parties walking round the various routes. We were lucky though to have a guide who was able to explain quite alot in English. The levels of water have fallen due to the dry weather and this has pushed the wildlife further away from the walkways and viewing areas. I suggest you either take a pair of binoculars with you or go on a guided walk that provides them. I think the best time to visit if you want to see as much wildlife and in particular the birdlife is in the mornings and from Monday to Friday as the numbers of people visiting are significantly lower than at the weekends. There are toilets situated at the start of your journey so I would say if you need to go do it before you set off walking. There is also a small shop selling souvenirs as well as snacks, water and ice cream etc. Try to visit in April and May or even earlier as the water levels drop as the summer months approach. On the plus side if you have travelled in a campervan or you are towing a caravan, you can stay overnight in one of the grassed car parks. Remember to bring your own food as Daimiel is about 14km away.
This is a very nice place to wander around, in summer is a bit dry but stil worth it. I'd visit if I were you!!!
